ulsfo: (2) mx80s to become temp cr[34]-drmrs
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

This task will track the racking, setup, and OS installation of (2) MX80 routers that are in our racks (but not wired up at the time of this task filing) and slated for decommission/disposal when we receive enough items there to warrant a decom/recycling pickup.

Since these were there, we can press them into emergency service in drmrs.

Even though the locations are listed in there as differing racks, they are NOT racked or wired in, and they also likely are both currently in rack 23 (as they had to move to rack the new cp hosts last month.) The scs in in rack 22, so it is likely easiest for me (Rob) to move these both into 22 and wire them into the SCS and either the asw or msw switch as detailed by netops.

ulsfo setup checklist

  • - netops detail what ports in rack 22 to plug the 'mgmt' link on these routers into (need 2 ports) - just wire mgmt to mgmt switches in each rack
  • - rob goes onsite to wire the two mx80s into power, serial (rob can allocate these ports), and network (allocated by netops)
  • - rob tests ability to connect via serial.
  • - rob checks if there are any spares XFPs in the racks (if so, to be shipped with the routers)
  • - attach photos of the front and back panels of each router to this task for future remote hands instruction
  • - handoff to netops for remote setup of the two routers
  • - willy contacting Juniper to get (2) shipping crates for the MX80 routers and have them shipped to ulsfo
  • - rob packages routers for shipment
  • - router shipment must have the delivery ticket number (filed when we are ready to ship it) on the packages or they will be refused by Interxion.
  • - routers shipped to drmrs

mgmt ports to the mgmt switch please :)
Once we have this and console, we can check and upgrade them.

If you can take pictures of the front panels that could be useful to instruct remote hands when they get to drmrs too.

So both of the old mx80s are attached to mgmt, power, and scs. I've not bothered to document these connections in netbox, as they are unlabled and temp. The only thing updated with the port info is the SCS console software, labeling and enabling ports 9 and 10 for old cr1 and cr2 respectively.

ALL ports are fully populated with optics on both routers. I'll attach photos I took with my phone later.

I'm not sure if this should assign to @ayounsi or @cmooney, either can handle this!

This is ready for software update/setup/etc via scs-ulsfo. I'll attach the photo of the front panel later from home.

Thanks I had a quick look and they both are healthy, all 8 interfaces show up as well.

I'll wait that we make progress on the crates (T277586#7538136) to look at upgrades. But even so they could be shipped as it.

They're currently running Junos 13 and latest recommended is 20.

Not needed anymore.
